Hi Chaman: A TTY application would allow the BN/VN to function like a TTY for someone who is deaf. With the Braille Display, it would be of great benefit to individuals who are Deaf-Blind. It connects to a telephone line, and when the person using the BN/VN calls someone with a TTY or receives a TTY call, they can read what the caller on the other end is typing and type back to the caller. Of course, they can also use something like this to call Relay services to communicate with persons who can hear.
Freedom Scientific has a TTY application for the Pacmate, it's called FSTTY. It costs $1200 over and above the cost of a Pacmate. It includes software and a special modem called a Boto modem which can read and send TTY signals.
